Traffic fatality closed I-10 eastbound in Columbia County for a while Wednesday

A fatal crash on Interstate 10 in Columbia Count shut down the eastbound lanes just west of U.S. 41 for a while Wednesday, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Both eastbound lanes of I-10 were closed due to the investigation and debris removal.

Eastbound I-10 traffic was being detoured onto southbound I-75. Motorists exited onto eastbound U.S. 90 and traveled north on U.S. 41 or 441 and returned to I-10. For those traveling northbound on I-75, they were detoured to County Road 136 in Suwannee County then south on U.S. 41 back to I-10.
